"They own it" said Hillman in describing the partisan politicalization of the LAPD which also resulted in the Los Angeles Police Protective League's own empowerment. Hillman told Leslie Dutton, host of the Emmy Award winning Full Disclosure™ cable and Internet television program, that the ACLU and the Democrats have complete control of the Police Department.

On this Full Disclosure™ program that was videotaped in April of 2005, Captain Hillman said that the Police union made a deal with then-candidate for Mayor James Hahn, to support his campaign in exchange for his approving the 3/12 work schedule for the police officers. This was accomplished due to the union's new-found political power, which was brought about by the partisian reforms enacted by the 1992 Proposition "F" and other City Charter changes in the wake of the Rodney King incident.This program is available on theInternet starting 24/7 via "Free" on Demand as a public service of the Full Disclosure Network.

Full Disclosure host Leslie Dutton has been conducting interviews with law enforcement officials regarding police politics and public policy since 1992. She was awarded a local public affairs EMMY Award in 2002 by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the series entitled "L.A.'s War Against Terrorism" featuring LAPD Chief Bernard Parks, Lt. Ken Hillman and Councilman Mark Ridley Thomas.
